Pulp Parade #245: No more tube girls for you, mister!

This is Amazing Stories for July 1943, cover by H.W. McCauley. The ISFDB entry for this issue is here and contains among other things the curious information that “[t]he ‘Correspondence Corner’ was discontinued for national security reasons.” I found this version of the cover in this bondage index. As is typical, Galactic Central has a clearer-but-smaller version of the same.

Update at 19:54 UCT. A commenter has asked whether we can see the back cover as well. As it turns out, we can, and here it is:

Wow! I got that by finding and downloading a the whole issue from the Internet Archive, something I encourage you to do to, if you want to read the stories behind the illustrations.

Pulp Parade #244: The Future needs women! Even if we have to kidnape them!

This is Amazing Stories for February 1942, cover by L. Raymond Jones. The ISFDB entry for this issue is here. I found this version of the cover in this bondage index. Galactic Central has a cleaner, smaller version of the same image.

Rolling around in my mind is the question of whether “kidnaped” was a now-obsolete variant of “kidnapped,” evidence that even professionals sometimes screw up, or perhaps some weird form of future crime.

Later, as my tireless searches continue…there’s also a big and bright version available at Pulp Covers.
